Just as Liu Rulan had guessed, after remaining silent for about an hour, Su Shengxi and his company, Jiaxing Entertainment, simultaneously released a statement, claiming that the slip of the hand was done by Su Shengxi's assistant and had nothing to do with Su Shengxi himself. They also stated that they had dismissed the assistant in accordance with regulations and hoped that fans would discuss the matter rationally and not be swayed by malicious individuals.
At the same time, they sincerely wished Xiao He's film "Killing Life" a huge success and said they would buy tickets internally to support it.
So no matter what, "Killing Life" is indeed the biggest winner today. It has given the °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° film free and widespread publicity, and also brought in a large box office. Director Hou must be grinning from ear to ear.
Seeing the final outcome, Xiao He was somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that this was how the matter would end, with the assistant taking the blame.
But since he painstakingly squeezed Xiao Chen out of her job, he deserves to lose it because of this.
After browsing the internet for a while, Xiao He received a call from director Hou Rongxuan.
"Xiao Xiao, I really have to thank you so much this time!"
Hou Rongxuan's cheerful voice couldn't be concealed even through the phone.
Xiao He politely replied, "I didn't do anything. Even without this incident, 'Killing Life' would have been a hit."
"Haha, but it saved us a lot of advertising costs!"
Hou Rongxuan said with a smile, "You're lucky, kid. I'll definitely come to you next time I have a notebook!"
Within this circle, many people still believe in metaphysics.
Xiao He understood Hou Rongxuan's meaning and didn't say much. He just smiled and agreed, "Okay, then I'll wait. If it's some super villain that I can have a go at acting, that would be the best."
"You little brat, you've really gone too far!" Hou Rongxuan laughed and cursed. "Then you just wait and see!"
"Ready to be summoned by Director Hou at any time—"
While Xiao He and Hou Rongxuan were chatting, the situation online unexpectedly changed again...
Inside the room, Bu Meiwei looked at Su Shengxi and his company's clarification and gave a sarcastic twitch at the corner of his mouth, a sense of weariness inexplicably welling up in his heart.
She has been following Su Shengxi since the talent show era. Her presence was indispensable in enabling Su Shengxi to debut as the center, which also established Bu Meiweixi's stable position among his fellow fans.
But now... the boy who cried and thanked his fans back then has grown up. He has started to forget his original intentions, date, lie to his fans, betray his colleagues, and gradually abandon the fans who have always been by his side...
I'm exhausted from not being able to sleep.
She felt it was time for her to leave.
However, just as Bu Mei was about to post an update announcing her retirement from the entertainment industry, she stared at Su Shengxi's account and suddenly frowned.
Something feels off...
As a die-hard fan of Su Shengxi, Bu Meiwei checks in on every single one of Su Shengxi's posts and comments, and it can be said that she knows Su Shengxi's Weibo inside and out.
But this time...
She noticed something odd about Su Shengxi's clarification post; it seemed like he had used a different device.
Bu Meiweixi, harboring that ridiculous guess, opened their clarification announcement, the account screenshots on her assistant's phone, and Su Shengxi's previous account activity, gradually confirming the possibility that was extremely ironic for the fans—
【Unsleepless for Su: 【Screenshot】 x9, @SuShengxi, can you explain who has been engaging with fans on Weibo all these years? You said it was an accidental contact by the assistant managing Su Shengxi's account, but how long has the assistant been managing it? Why are all the recent posts from "Su Shengxi" himself posted from the same account device, and consistent with this assistant's account device? Also, you changed your device last year, but if I remember correctly, it was right after you fired your assistant Xiao Chen, so you've never logged into your own account, right?】
As a well-known wealthy female fan of Su Shengxi, Bu Meiweixi herself has nearly 500,000 followers on Weibo. Her wealth and personal charm have attracted many other casual fans and followers. Some people even regard her as another kind of idol. Therefore, Bu Meiweixi's activities have undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of tonight's battle.
Netizens who had just finished reading the gossip got excited again.
Holy crap—
Tonight was totally worth it!!!
Immediately, all netizens transformed into master detectives, meticulously searching through Su Shengxi's Weibo for any suspicious details...
By the time Xiao He hung up the phone, it was already confirmed online that Su Shengxi's account was not operated by him, but was entirely managed by his assistant.
Key point – “Completely” handed over to the assistant.
In other words, none of the statements and posts he made on Weibo over the past few years were handled by him personally.
Although everyone now assumes that these accounts are mostly managed by agents or assistants, you could at least post one message yourself, right?
What's most amazing is that many of the comments in the comment section completely imitate Su Shengxi's own tone and manner of speaking, and fans basically assume that it is him replying.
And now you're pulling this stunt?
And there's no way to deny this, because if Su Shengxi denies that the account was operated by his assistant, then he's admitting that he accidentally liked a comment that insulted fans and Xiao He. But if they don't deny it, then it's practically solid evidence.
Only longtime fans know how to deliver the most devastating blow. Bu Meiweixi actually dug out an interview with Su Shengxi from two years ago from one of his treasured magazines. In the interview, Su Shengxi personally admitted that he often reads fans' private messages and comments, and that when he feels sad or frustrated, he also seeks strength from the concern of his fans.
Looking back now, it's all so ironic.
【Unsleeping for Xi: I just want to ask on behalf of the fans who genuinely loved you in the past, Su Shengxi, how many of the words in your mouth are true? Where do you get your strength? Oh, it certainly isn't from us fans, it certainly isn't from the fans who voted you out vote by vote back then...】
Bu Mei Wei Xi's words were very hurtful, and they also showed a disheartened fan's final question to her idol. However, she did not expect Su Shengxi to answer. After posting this long essay of 800 words, Bu Mei Wei Xi disbanded the super topic and group chat she created.
【Bu Meiwei Xi: Unlike some people, I won't go back on my promises. I won't take back what I said before about buying tickets to support "Killing Life," since I did join in criticizing Xiao He back then. So, I'll be booking out screenings at Pacific Cinemas in Chengdu, Shanghai, and Beijing. I'll have someone else post the details on the platform. Anyone interested can go and get tickets, regardless of their fandom, first come, first served. I'm deleting this account now. See you all again in the future.】
With this last post, Bu Meiweixi never went online again.
Everyone knows she will never log on again.
Following the incident involving Su Shengxi, his accounts on various platforms have also experienced a significant loss of followers, with the scale of this loss far exceeding that of the previous relationship scandal.
—Compared to the outburst by Bu Meiwei Xi, many more fans chose to leave quietly.
